So I'm at O'Hare airport the other day, and they happen to have an HD store (clothing and the like), so I stop in. There is a security guard in the vicinity, and we get to talking. He seemed interested in bikes, so I asked him if he rides. "No, I like my arms and legs. The last thing I need is for my wife to have to take care of me while breathing through a tube for the rest of my life." "Have you ever ridden a motorcycle?" I ask... again, "no" says the security guard.
Guy sure has a lot of opinions about something he apparently knows nothing about. Plus, I'm sure the manager of that HD shop would be really stoked to find out this guy is outside their store talking trash... not too good for business.
My wife, who was with me, was strong as a rock, and didn't let it get to her. She knows that being the wife of someone who rides involves being able to brush off ignorant statements by those that know nothing about the subject. I didn't get into it with this guy, because what can you say to someone like that? After I got back from my vacation, I went for a nice 50 mile ride... arms, legs, and breathing are still in tact!!!!
ride safe, and with a smile
